Hybe's headquarters stands next door, and this branch fills the second through fourth floors of the adjacent building; Naver reservations come with a floor assignment posted at the entrance. Ganjang gejang, raw crab marinated in soy sauce, is lightly salted so the sweet crab meat stays forward. Chamge kkotge maeuntang, a spicy stew of mitten crab and blue crab, has a clean broth and plump crabmeat.

Peak lunch and dinner waits can pass 30 minutes. Celebrity autographs cover the walls.
